Quoting:
"This is the past life death experience of an evangelical preacher of the 1920s. This man had spent a lifetime seeing the devil in every nook and cranny of his town in the deep South. During my review of this life with the client who carried these memories, I was told, "My parishioners were shaken to their bones with my fiery sermons of the hell awaiting all sinful transgressors." Upon his death in that lifetime, the subject described:
S: I floated out of my body…I'm kind of disoriented. I am floating in bright light. There’s someone coming towards me.
Dr. N: That's fine, just take your time.
S: (long pause, and then with a loud horrified exclamation) OH, GOD. NO!
Dr. N: (startled by this outcry) What's going on?
S: (subject's body begins to shake uncontrollably) OH … OH … LORD ALMIGHTY! IT'S THE DEVIL. I KNEW IT. I'VE GONE TO HELL!
Dr. N: (grasping subject by the shoulders) Now, take a deep breath and try to relax as we go through this together.
S: (cuts in with a shrill tone of voice) I SEE THE DEVIL RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME
Dr. N: Try to calm yourself…
S: (paying no attention to me, the subject now begins to moan while rocking back and forth) Ohooo … it's over for me … I'm in hell…
Dr. N: (I break in now more forcefully) Tell me exactly what you see.
S: A … being… demonic … reddish-green face … horns … wild-eyed … fangs… the facial skin is like charred wood … O SWEET JESUS, WHY ME OF ALL PEOPLE, WHO SPOKE SO MUCH IN YOUR NAME?
Dr. N: What else do you see?
S: (with loathing) WHAT ELSE IS THERE TO SEE? CAN'T YOU UNDERSTAND? I'M IN FRONT OF THE DEVIL!
Dr. N: Stay with me. Move forward in time rapidly now and tell me what this figure does.
S: (my subject's body jerks up violently and then with a great sigh of relief he sags back into the chair) Oh … that bastard … I might have known … it's Scanlon. He is taking his mask off and smiling wickedly atme …
Dr. N: (now I can relax) Who is Scanlon?
S: My spirit guide. This is his crude idea of a joke. I should have known. He caught me unawares this time. But he is a great teacher. That's his way
Dr. N: Why frighten you just as you were coming into the spirit world a little disoriented? Tell me why Scanlon used a devil's mask to scare you right after this life? Talk to him now.
Note: I am quiet for a few moments while my subject mentally connects with Scanlon.
S: (after a period of silence) I had it coming. Oh, I know it! I spent a lifetime preaching about the devil, scaring good people … telling them they were going to hell if they didn't pay attention to me. Scanlon gave me a dose of my own medicine.
Dr. N: I want to ask you a blunt question. Did you really believe what you told your parishioners about seeing demonic forces everywhere, or were you motivated by something else?
S: (intensely) No, no—I believed what I was saying about evil being everywhere in every person. I was not a hypocrite.
I believed it. My undoing was my method of preaching and the love of the power over others that this ability gave me. Yes, I admit that failing… I made life miserable for some of my flock… not seeing the essential goodness in people. I was always suspicious because of my obsession with evil and this corrupted me.
I took a wrong turn—it was not the wrong path. My faith was not a bad thing but I became misguided and I misguided others. Scanlon wants me to see what it feels like to scare people rather than reason with them. He wanted me to feel the same fear that I gave to others."

Guilt has always been a weapon of religion to keep its sheep obediently in line, so it's not surprising that some particularly fearful, guilt-ridden souls create a nightmarish realm at death. Have you seen the film 'What Dreams May Come'? We create our own hells – sometimes willingly, sometimes because we feel so horrible for having been human that we create punishment for ourselves in the afterlife. Actually, considering the negative influence such mind control exerts over its followers, it's really surprising that this kind of thing doesn't happen more often.
According to Christianity (the genuine form of it) religious leaders have a very serious responsibility to represent the faith without distorting it. The Christian bible quotes Jesus as warning these self-proclaimed followers of Christ that he will turn many of them away with the words, 'I never knew you; depart from me' … Turn on your "gospel" TV programs and you'll see exactly the people who perfectly fit the warning in Matthew 7:23. (And Christians should have enough sense not to follow anyone who depicts 'God' as a vengeful monster.)
here is the truth…God is one. He is the Supreme soul, father of all souls in the world.During the Start of Universe there's nothing but the Supreme soul (God) and human souls (ourselves) in Brahma loga(a region in space above the universe Golden – Reddish color). It consists of a star(Supreme soul) surrounded by collection of stars(Human Souls).These stars are nothing but the Souls. Souls are immortal. They never die, they cannot be killed through fire or water or anything else. Think, when a man's dress got worn out he will go for the newer one. In a similar way, the soul will take a new body when it's older body get’s decayed or worn out. The soul is very small and it is present in between two eye brows in forehead like a star. The drama starts, this drama has four parts (SatYuga, ThrethaYuga, DwabaraYuga, KaliYuga) and its life is 5000 years. Each Yuga is having 1250 years. Each soul will come down to earth from Brahma loga to take part in its role in drama. Golden Age-Sat Yuga
Heaven – RANK 1)
In SatYuga every soul is pure, they don’t have body consciousness. They will always think that, they are soul and look others as soul – Soul Consciousness. They built their houses with gold, and everything is made up of gold there. Every one is always happy. The head of this golden age is Lakshmi and Narayanan. This age starts with 9lakhs people(0.9 million) and ends at 2 crores, each soul will take 8 births & hence 8 different lakshmi-narayana.Here also there are animals and birds (only animals that are safe to humans will take part here), but they don’t disturb peoples. Here also there is birth and death, but there is no cry. Here there is no lust, anger, greed, attachment and ego. Childrens were born only through transfer of soul power. No physical relationship. Every people wore golden ornaments. Every one has power to adjust, tolerate, discriminate, judge, face, Pack-up, Withdraw, Co-operate.
Silver Age -ThrethaYuga 
Heaven – RANK 2)
It is similar to Golden age, but gold is replaced by Silver. This age starts with 2 crores and ends at 33crore peoples. (9lakhs who lived in Golden Age at start + 2crore 91lakhs people who came From Brammhaloga).There will be 12 births for each people. The head of this age is Raman and seetha.Here also there is no fight, no problem etc…The people who lived in Golden age and Silver age are called Devis and Devas (Deities) .They are not Gods. But now-a-days People are worshipping them. But Peoples don’t know they (Deities) are also living among them after taking rebirth. The route from brahmaloga to earth is one way. once a soul comes down to earth it has to wait till the end of the world by taking rebirth.
Copper Age-Dwabara Yuga 
Conversion from Heaven to Hell)
Here comes Islam, Christianity,Buddhism etc. Peoples fight with each other to gain supremacy over others. Here comes lust, Anger,greed, attachment,ego etc, The soul loses its purity.The peoples who lived as Deities in Golden Age and Copper Age also take part in this age. The peoples who are worshippable now becomes 'the people who performs pooja' (These deities spreads across different religions in the world now-a-days).The life in Golden Age and Copper Age looks like Stem of tree ,where there is only one language and religion. But now the tree grows into many branches (many languages, religions etc) and hence becomes weak (it loses its strength that it will be easily broken).
Kali Yuga-(Hell) 
Iron Age)
Here everything is Bad, Worst; there are animals, flies which will disturb others. People will suffer due to sin they have done in previous birth. The souls which were angels also take birth in this Yuga. Ever soul cries foul and calls god to rescue them from this world due to pain. So by the end of Kaliyuga (now), Supreme soul (called as Shiva,Allah etc) comes down to world in a old man's body who was called as Brahma (The founder of Brahma Kumari’s).After the death of Brahma his soul stays in Paristha loga(The white space that joins Universe with Brahmaloga) as an ANGEL. After Brahma’s death, another dadhi(sister) takes his role and Shiva uses her body as a medium to give this Spiritual knowledge called 'murli' which is the true Bhagvad gita. By attending free classes run by brahmakumaris. we can learn what Allah says today.This is the time to recharge ourself through Meditation (Thinking of Supreme soul by realizing ourselves as a soul).This part of kali Yuga is called as sangama Yuga. The person who meditates well and avoids sin through this Raja Yoga will get Top rankings in heaven and they will be worshipped as god in Copper age and Iron Age. As you have shown interest in this true Knowledge, you will become an Angel and then deity in the golden age. All we have studied in Ramayana, Mahabharata, bible, Quran, Gita have small amount of truths.The same drama continues as a cycle for every 5000 years.
It would take me two of my lifetime's to read all that!
Not that I know of. I seek the removal of fear.
Six Steps to Fearlessness
1. Attack no one including yourself.
2. In silence and peace connect with the Intelligence of the Universe.
3. Forgive yourself and then you will be able to forgive others.
4. Give to others the gifts that you are given and then you will be able to keep them.
5. Ask for more understanding when you have doubts or when life seems hard.
6. Let the purpose of your life unfold, moment by moment, by its own plan.
